50 Great Things about Japan 29-20

So here are numbers 29 - 20 in this list. Hope you are enjoying it...

29. Nanzen Ji

Another temple in Kyoto, but one with many sub temples and shrouded in a expansive and beautiful garden.

28. Japan in Autumn

It's always been my favourite season, and here it is more beautiful than most, with whole mountainsides covered in brown and golden yellow hues.

27. Miso Soup

Staple of Japanese breakfast. I wasn't a fan at first but now I really like it. Great stuff.

26. The Shinkansen

The Japanese Bullet train service. Fast and cool to look at! Get from Hiroshima to Osaka in an 1 and 30 minutes.

25. Japanese Showers

I like 'em. I didn't at first, but basically the shower is outside the bath and, well, the rule here is that you are supposed to shower down before getting in, so that no soap gets in the water.

24. Bowling shoes coming from a vending machine

Yes. This is true.

23. Mos Burger

Japanese Burger chain. Delicious, well priced and excellent value...fresh tasting too!

22. JAL

In trouble over here, but the Japanese Airline has served me well during my excursion home and back.

21. Second hand clothing stores.

These shops don't have the dingy image of Oxfam or Dr. Barnardos back home, but are stylish and many cool people hang out there. Myself and Evan found a T Shirt for Jason's leaving gift here (990 yen).

20. Yaki Niku

Okay, it's Korean, but the Japanese do it so well and it was introduced to me whilst in this country. Cook your own meat and veg...delicious but VERY VERY VERY filling!
